Re: "Best" Sunless Tanning Booth

my salon caters to people who have had bad experiences in a tanning salon, from burning, inexperienced tanning attendants, old outdated beds, bad customer service, turning orange when the people told them they wouldn't. They are completely satisfied with our salon. I have worked hard for our reputation and I am not going to jepordize that for being unknowledgable about the things that we do. It is always a good idea to spot test before doing a full application. That is no brianer in my eyes. I am also a hairsylist. that is one of the 1st things they teach is test it test it test it. it is easier to fix a small spot than a large one.. you might look into getting a spray tan remover. it won't remove a full application but should work on a small spot. the reason we do airbrush is because lots of people are clusterphobic also you can charge more for airbrush .. it's more personal and you create clientele loyality.

The ONLY thing I can recommend is find a booth that is using a CLEAR spray that's REAL LIGHT.

Booth doesn't matter. It's the spray that matters most.
K. Thank you! Off to make some phone calls!

Re: "Best" Sunless Tanning Booth

I was a hairdresser in a past life. It was so 80's for me. We used a lot of Sebasitan Spritz Forte and Aqua Net in the WHITE can! hee hee

Wow there are, like, twenty five thousand people viewing this thread.

Re: "Best" Sunless Tanning Booth

well, I have a clientele base of about 50 people who come in at least 1 once every two weeks and we started doing the airbrushing about mid january. so lets see.. hmm 50 times 2 times $40 is.....$400 per month and that is at them coming only twice a month some of them come in every week I would say at least 1/2 soo 25 people coming in 2 times a month at $40 is $250 per month and then you have 25 people 4 times a month at $40 is $400. so add that up and you get $650 each month from a $60 per month product... to me that seems like great profit.. The salons around us have a mistic tan and they charge 19.95 for one session at one place and $19.95 unlimited mistic tan at another so... people do like it!

I know I'm "clusterphobic." I'm afraid of getting cluster ****ed...

Re: "Best" Sunless Tanning Booth

Darktanner I just looked at your website and you have really good prices. I wish I could tan 200 minutes for 34.95. My 200 minutes were like 150.00 :O
